#PopLife (feat. Cahe Nardy & Violive Project) [Cahe Nardy Remix] Release

'Pra Começar' New Track feat. FOTONOVELA

YOHAN feat. FOTONOVELA - PRA COMEÇAR
Cover of "Pra Começar" by Marina Lima, released in 1986. In this new version, the song is recreated and gets synth-wave and current pop references. The vocals by YOHAN plus the new arrangement, invite the listener to hang out on a dance floor in a 80s like nightclub: neons, mirrors, squared tiles and sexy feel of romance in the air.

YOHAN feat. FOTONOVELA - PRA COMEÇAR
Cover da música "Pra Começar" de Marina Lima, lançada em 1986. Nesta nova versão, a musica é reconstruída e ganha referências de synth-wave e do pop atual. Os vocais do artista YOHAN somados ao novo arranjo convidam o ouvinte a passear pela pista de uma verdadeira "Danceteria" oitentista: neons, espelhos, piso quadriculado e clima sexy de romance no ar. 

LYRICS
Pra Começar (Marina Lima) 

Pra começar
Quem vai colar
Os tais caquinhos
Do velho mundo 

Pátrias, Famílias, Religiões
E preconceitos
Quebrou não tem mais jeito 

Agora descubra de verdade
O que você ama... 
Que tudo pode ser seu 

Se tudo caiu
Que tudo caia
Pois tudo raia
E o mundo pode ser seu 

Pra terminar. 
Quem vai colar
Os tais caquinhos
Do velho mundo 

Pátrias, Famílias, Religiões
E preconceitos
Quebrou não tem mais jeito 

Agora descubra de verdade
O que você ama... 
Que tudo pode ser seu 

Se tudo caiu
Que tudo caia
Pois tudo raia
E o mundo pode ser seu

Givenchy, Lelê Navarro, #PopLife.

Hi Everyone!

How you guys doing?
It's been about 5 weeks in Sao Paulo now and things keep getting better! 

Besides some amazing new collaborators, partnerships and deals I can't quite tell yet, there are still some good news and fun events I would like to report and share with you.

The past two weeks have been like this:

#AtitudeGentlemenGivenchy:
The other night I had the pleasure to attend the launch party of Givenchy's new perfume 'Gentlemen Only Absolute', held at millionaire Cris Arcangeli's mansion in the most traditional neighborhood Jardim Paulista, Sao Paulo.
The party was pumping with good music by DJs, Cris Proença and Sarah Stenzel, amazing cocktails, a beautiful and well served buffet and of course, sexy Brazilian Celebs and Socialites, such as Wolf Maya,  Stella Jacintho and Amir Slama.

Lelê Navarro:
A few nights after Givenchy's superb event, I went on to attend Brazilian blogger and Socialite Lelê Navarro's website renewal party at Tea Connection in Jardins, Sao Paulo.
The event was very intimate. Lelê talked about her career and her passion for Fashion, most specifically for Men's Fashion, which is usually rare for a Woman. Good one Navarro! 
My dear friend and beauty guru, Andre Florindo was also there, giving a workshop about natural beauty and self confidence. To keep the party rolling, live music! =)

#PopLife Shooting, Art Shows and Beverly Hills.

Hey Guys,

How are you? I hope you had a good weekend.
My week was pretty fun and busy, just how I like it! 

Over last weekend through Monday, I was prepping for my amazing #PopLife shooting, which is basically some new photographs for my promotional material to be used by my booking agents and PR.

The actual shooting was on Tuesday, 9th, and I have to say, it was BEAUTIFUL!
My amazing friend Hank, Director and Editor of West Hollywood Magazine and WeHo Ville,  hooked me up with one of his friends who owns a Mansion in the Hollywood Hills, the location couldn't have been more #PopLife!

After an amazing shooting day, nothing could possibly have beat it, expect a full amazing week of fun!:

Thursday night, my beautiful friend Jacky invited me to the Basic Magazine Red Carpet Event held at Confidential Beverly Hills. The party was very 90's Beverly Hills style (look it up) and I made some new dear friends including Justin Howard and Charmaine Joie.

Friday night my birthday friend (once again) Hank, invited me to the opening of 'Round Hole Square Peg', an Art Show curated by the fascinating Phil Tarley, a fellow of the American Film Institute and an artist member of the Los Angeles Art Association, whom writes about contemporary artpop culture and photography for Fabrik Magazine.

Out of the photographers exhibiting, two caught my attention.:
Rob Lebow, who is actually a good friend of mine and shot me a few months ago in Palm Springs for his book 'GORGEROUS', featuring Armen Ra on the cover, and Josef Jasso, who I have never heard of before but definitely was winning the game, with some very colorful and bright pop art photographs featuring the one and only, Amanda Lepore.

Saturday night  I attended another Art Show my dear friend Aaron Rosenberg was photographed for.
The full collection of underwater photographs entitled 'California Mermaids', features naked models and friends, shot by Ukrainian artist, Alex Sher. His impactful and stunning pieces are spread throughout the entire Lurie Gallery.

To finish the week with a Golden Key after so much work and fun events, at night (still on Saturday) I went for drinks and a lot of Disco Music accompanied by some new friends and my bestie Lily at my favorite club in town, Giorgio's, at The Standard Hotel, hosted by the sweetheart, Bryan Rabin.

I hope you guys enjoyed the highlights of my week! There is so much great content including Art, Fashion, Photography and Music to discover in this post, so I really  hope you get inspired and have fun! =)

I LOVE YOU ALL, 

YOHAN.

'Thursday High' Music Video Shooting.

Hello from California Dreaming Everyone! =)

I hope you are all doing good and having a great new week! 
I arrived in LA one week ago and I've been enjoying it quite a bit.
The SUN is fantastic!

I have so much to do and accomplish while in LA, the city is growing on me and I have been meeting some great people so I should be posting some good news very soon!

For now, let me talk a little about my latest Fashion Film Music Video I shot in Tokyo a few days before coming to the U.S. It's for my newest single 'Thursday High'.:
*You can get it here:

I had been producing my new music video for about a month and a half.
Besides all the hard work that production is, all went pretty well expect for a little drama I had, the Director decided to drop the project 1 week prior to the shooting (YES, 1 week!).
Luckily, I have great friends and people who believe in my Vision and Art that I can always count on, so in the end, everything worked pretty well! =)

This time I've had the pleasure to work/collaborate with even more loved ones!
From models to dancers, hair & makeup professionals to stylist, artists to designers. 
What a great team!

I'm not gonna give it all just yet, but I can tell you a bit about its concept.
First of all, I'm calling this a Fashion Film Music Video, so expect a lot of Fashion such as Anrealage, Mayuko Daimon and more.
I'm throwing some art statements, some very poppy elements and a lot of sexiness! =) 
There is a little bit for everyone, I promise! 

The story recreates in a metaphorical and artistic way, the night that inspired me to write 'Thursday High'. It also recreates in a surreal way, the dimension we go to when we get high on a Thursday night! =) It's filled with body and skin! =)

I really don't wanna talk too much about it so I will stop here. Below you can see some of the behind the scenes, and don't forget to check the mega team on board for this beautiful piece of art.

Enjoy everyone! =)
